Not bad

 Made this with Brewcraft Converter Kit #60 and Saflager 23 yeast. Not bad, but not brilliant. The dryness seems to overpower most of the flavours.

Two Brews

I've brewed this twice now and have come to the conclusion that its a very 'ordinary' can. The first brew was using the dry enzyme and 350 gms or light spray malt. It was kegged and was no better than ok. The second brew was with 1kg light spray malt no Enzyme and a 15gms Tetenanger hops bag. Drinkable , but deffinately not doing again.

drinkable

Just an update on the last review posted. Its now been three months in the bottle and it is getting there. I had one the other day and it tasted like a beer, so hopefully sooner rather than later it will be a good drop. All in all, give it time!

disapointing so far

Ingredients were kit, 1kg LDME, 25g Liberty, Dry enzyme supplied and Saflager. Brewed around 20*C, which was dissapointing but couldnt do anything about it. PF for 2 weeks, racked for another week, then bulk primed. After two weeks in the bottle it tasted like dog poo, 2 Months later it wasnt much better. Will leave for about 5 months and hopefully it improves. Probably would do again but make sure it was brewed colder and had mores more flavour and aroma hops... (saaz, hallertau MF etc)

Clean and refreshing

Simple recipe. 1kg dexrose, 250g dried corn syrup, 21.5L, 1041 - 1004. Nice light-bodied, crisp lager. Big, creamy head. Will mature nicely. 8.6/10.

Update on previous (improves with age)

My previous post tittled "Ordinary" is upgraded to quite drinkable. After a couple of months in the bottle, this beer started to shine. The flavours matured and I am quite happy with it now. All 60 stubbies are gone :(

Ordinary

Very average can. I used 1 Kg ultra pack from LHBS and 500g dry Light Malt, some hops (tea bag variety, can't remember name) and White Labs German Ale Kolsch yeast WLP029. I'm not about to tip out the beer but it's nothing fancy. Ferm temp19-20˚C, OG:1038, FG:1000. I racked it, but didn't bulk prime. Glad I used liquid yeast and other goodies otherwise it would be going down the drain. I paid $14 too much for this can. It's woth $6 or $7.

Used for Stella Clone .. o-kay ...

I got a Stella Artois clone recipe off a home-brewing site which called for this kit to be used. The exact recipe I don't recall, but it involved using Hallertau hops, extra dry light malt and dextrose, and saflager yeast. The result was so-so, which makes me fear for the result you would get using the kit alone. Overall impression: not impressed.
